<p>I found out about <a href="http://tineye.com">TinEye</a> a few minutes ago. It's a nice little search engine which allows you to find exact copies of a photo or even similar versions of it. You can either upload an image for comparison with their database, or point TinEye to a URL of the image you want to check.</p>
<p>For instance, checkout this <a href="http://tineye.com/search/cad8339514a68e30bcadf9a1dab943ed062ed991">this search</a> for my <a href="http://hermann-uwe.de/blog/list-of-my-creative-commons-licensed-photos-being-used-elsewhere">unreasonably popular</a> "<a href="http://hermann-uwe.de/photoblog/sugar">Sugar</a>" photo. Or have a look at <a href="http://tineye.com/cool_searches">this list of sample searches</a>.</p>
<p>The site is also <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Sz-iwbot/tineye">used in Wikipedia</a> for detecting the original source of uploaded images.</p>
<p>I know there is some other website which also allows similarity search of images, but I just can't remember the URL. Please leave a comment if you know of other such sites, thanks!</p>
